Disclaimer: I own nothing of these stories.
And here is the Carmen Sandiego/Sirius story. This will be partway through fifth year, probably about October or November. Enjoy!
If you had just walked into the Great Hall of Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry all you would hear would be the 'bang, bang, bang,' of teenagers heads on the wooden tables. All students from Slytherin to Gryffindor, 3rd year to 7th, were going to have major bruises by the next morning and the younger years could only watch in fear at their upperclassmen's reactions.
"Students, there is no need for all that because this year the video entries will be different. The participants will be able to enter numerous videos and they can be about any subject." While the banging had stopped during Dumbledore's speech it started up soon afterwards. Dumbledore could only look on with a twinkling eye as the students filed out, the 1st and 2nd years asking the older students what all the excitement(and dreading) was about.
Ron looked to his side to see his best friends looking like the cat that caught the canary(A/N: is that the saying?). "What are you two coming up with this time?" Even after third year he couldn't help but smile at his friend's antics.
The two shared a look and then Harry said, "you'll just have to wait and see, but it won't hurt you in anyway."
Ron breathed out a sigh of relief and nodded, "can you tell me who you're focusing on this time?"
"We'll do you one better," Hermione said, "you can help with the one's this year. Maybe we can come up with more that way."
Ron pouted and just as they reached the fat lady he said, "you still haven't told me who the first one is about."
"First I have to get him to agree to it and then I'll tell you both." Harry stated with a mischievous look on his face. Ron and Hermione could only groan because that look was never a good sign of things to come.
One Week Later
"Now we will have the first videos, I'm so happy that some of you got to work straight away." The teachers at the head table could tell that this year was going to be the strangest one yet. Dolores Umbridge(A/N: no I didn't forget about her) had tried her best to get this 'tradition' banned but Dumbledore had been adamant that it would help with house unity.
The first video was the Do-Re-Mi song from The Sound of Music, it was a pretty good copy for being as old as it was. (A/N: I can't remember when the sound of music came out so just imagine it's been out for a long time.) The second was about some type of Irish dance with the traditional music to go with it.
Finally the third one and last one came up. There were no introductions this year so the first picture had to convey what the video was about. The first picture to be shown was one of the Marauder's first pranks, a massive one that turned everyone in the Great Hall into circus clowns. Every teacher who had taught during the Marauder's time almost repeated the head banging reaction.
Severus Snape had turned his infamous glare in the direction of where he knew Potter was sitting. If there were any photos of him in this video then the boy would wish he had never survived that night long ago. Even though there were photos of 'snivellus', as Sirius had put it, Harry had adamantly refused to use any of them. There was a thin line between funny and painful with videos like these.
The students in the Great Hall were confused about what they were seeing and as the music started it just got more confusing. Though they did start to laugh as the pranks went along in the shape of the countries the song named.

Watch your back!
As the words 'watch your back' were said a cutout of the Daily Prophet appeared, it was the edition from two years ago with the laughing Sirius Black. Even with everyone knowing Sirius Black was an escaped murderer they still couldn't help the stitches in their side from all the laughing.
When Umbridge stood up to proclaim some announcement or another all that came out of her mouth was 'Croak' . Slapping a hand over her mouth she ran out a side door with angry croaks following after her. Dumbledore just let the students laugh and only gave a halfhearted attempt to quiet the mass of laughing hyenas.
After Dumbledore got them to calm down he smiled and said, "now that we have had all of those wonderful songs why don't we sing our own. Everyone stand up and I will lead the school song!" All that could be heard was the unison bang of every head in the Great Hall, teachers included.
OKAY. Glad I got that done. Anymore suggestions because I'm running out and It doesn't have to be limited to cartoon theme songs. Later! Review Please!
